The Company's new creation is capable of charging any device wirelessly. Let's see in complete detail.

Energy square uses innovative conductive charging technology and consists of 5 thin stickers that work in combination with a charging pad. Each sticker contains two electrodes, a micro USB, USB-C or lightening connector that plug into charging port of and device. After connecting with one of the stickers on the back of the device you need to place the device on the charging pad and you are done. One more interesting aspect is that the rate of charging is similar to that of regular charge.
